Overview
- Janin Ullmann said in a Marlene Lufen podcast that she experienced a “super long” period of grief after she and Kostja Ullmann announced their separation in December 2018.
- On Monday she described feeling deeply lonely in the years after the split and compared herself to friends who were building new lives with partners.
- Ullmann said she had to relearn how to let go, eventually changing her perspective and becoming grateful for the shared decade they had.
- She now travels alone, treats herself to solo “dates,” and says she and Kostja still understand each other and offer mutual support.
- Media reports draw directly on Ullmann’s podcast remarks and cite teleschau as a source partner, so coverage is based on her personal account rather than independent reporting.
